My New Project! CCPU

[jakeknapp29]

The weather is finally warming up! I was able to test my paint on the radiator shell. Turned out nice! Hopefully I'll be able to spray the cab in the next few weeks.

I'm still plugging away on paint work. I've got quite a bit done but still a long way to go. I painted the cab last weekend. I've driven the chassis around the yard a few times now as well.

Looks very nice.

Is that the later style steering wheel painted red? It looks like a large hub on it.

Actually they are closer to brown, and that's the color Ford called them.

Good eye Tom! Yes, it is a later wheel. I won't be keeping it on permanently. It was just on old cracked/broken wheel I had laying around and I filled the broken out areas with filler and sprayed it with red primer so I could drive the chassis around.

Jake,
Your truck looks great! It looks like you are doing it right. Keep up the good work and keep posting more pictures of your progress.
